Have your say on planning

Enfield Council has launched a six week consultation to ask residents to share their views on how they can get more involved in the planning of their area.

The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) consultation lasts until 27 March 2015.

It is a document the Council is legally required to publish to explain how it will inform, consult and involve the community planning applications and in drawing up planning policy documents.

Cllr Chris Bond, Enfield Council’s Cabinet Member for Environment and Community Safety said “One of Enfield Council’s priorities is to ensure that everyone in Enfield feels more involved in their local community, and in the decisions that affect their neighbourhoods – particularly by making sure that residents and businesses have a greater role in the policies and actions taken by the council itself.

“Planning policies, and the decisions on individual applications, play a vital role in shaping the borough and ensuring all residents enjoy a good and improving quality of life. Not only is it right that all those affected by them should have a say, but the comments and information the council gets back can often help improve the outcome.

“Before giving these plans the OK we want to make sure that the community is in agreement with our aims.”
